Children's Song Lyrics and Sound Clip
Bobby Susser

     1. The child/children may join in the line “Everybody Needs Somebody”, or sing the entire song.
     2. The parent/teacher may discuss with the child/children that “Everybody Needs Somebody.”
     3. The parent/teacher may ask the child/children why he/she/they in his/her/their own words think “Everybody Needs Somebody.”

Everybody needs somebody
and everyone needs to know
that someone cares,
that someone’s there.
Everyone needs to know.

Everybody needs somebody
even when you don’t say so.
I need you
and you need me
even when we don’t say so.

Everybody needs somebody
‘cause that’s just the way it goes.
It’s very plain.
It’s all the same
‘cause that’s just the way it goes.

Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Da da da da
Da da da da
Everyone needs to know.
Everyone needs to know.
Everybody needs somebody
and everyone needs to know
that someone cares,
that someone’s there.
Everybody needs to know.
Everybody needs to know.
Everybody needs to know.
Everybody needs somebody.
